at their cell doors and read newspa-

morning, but about thirty minutes
before the news came they were all
excluded and the prisoners were

AS the news spread citizens costless,
and some bareheaded, left their places
Of business and rushed toward the
Jail to verify the report. Among the
crowd, growing thicker every mo-

looking foreigners could be seen
darting hither and thither, jabbering
excitedly with ugly grimaces, and

down, discussing the all.absorbing
topic.
